It’s my second Munio fragment but all my meteorite friends know that I don’t like irons, I love LL3 and L3 chondrites, but wen I saw this fragment at the Barcelona Mineral Show (Expominer) last November it quickly reminded me about an illustration from the book Meteorites by Brian Mason, dated 1962. I bought the meteorite from my friend, expedition partner and meteorite dealer José Vicente Casado, and when back home searched the book and saw that some of the faces looks really similar! Brian Mason’s “Meteorite” book was edited by John Wiley & Sons in 1962, no ISBN but Library of Congress Catalog is 62-17466. Look at page 140 !!
